My name is Susan Harrison-Justain, I am an artist with my husband James
Harrisonn,We own SUS ART WORLD in London,Zealand(United Kingdom)I live
in
London United Kingdom, with my two kids, four cats, one dog and the
love
of my life my husband James Harrison. It is definitely a full house, I
have been doing artwork since I was a small child That gives me about
23
years of experience I majored in art in high school and took a few
college
art courses Most of my work is done in either pencil or art brush mixed
with color pencils.

I have recently added designing and creating artwork on the computer, I
have been selling my art for the last 3 years and have had my work
featured on trading cards, prints and in magazines, I have sold in
galleries and to private collectors from all around the world. I am
always
facing serious difficulties when it comes to selling my art works to
Americans, they are always offering to pay with MONEY ORDER OR CASHER'S
CHEQUE, which is difficult for me to cash here in London United
Kingdom.

I am looking for a representative in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA who
will
be working for me as a par time worker and i will be willing to pay 10%
for every transaction, which wouldn’t affect your present state of
work,
someone who would help me receive payments from my customers in the
states, I mean someone that is responsible and reliable, because the
cost
of coming to the state and getting payments is very expensive, I am
working on setting up a branch in the state, so for now i need a
representative in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA who will be handling the
payment aspect for our company.These payments are in MONEY ORDERS OR
CASHER'S CHEQUE and they wouldcome to you in your name if you are
willing
to assist as a representative, so all you need do is cash the money
order
deduct your percentage and WESTERN UNION Charges then wire the rest
back.

But the problem i have is trust, i have made arrangement with the FBI
in
Washington,that if anybody gets away with my money they will definately
get hold with the person,and the person will go to JAIL for LOOTING my
funds , you are to receive the MONEY ORDERS OR CASHER'S CHEQUE PAYMENT
which will be sent to you by the FEDEX or UPS from my business
partners,
which would come in form of a MONEY ORDER OR CASHER'S CHEQUE then you
are
to take it to your bank account to enable you cash it and send the
money
cashed for the MONEY ORDERS OR CASHER'S CHEQUE to me via WESTERN UNION
OR
MONEY GRAM.

NOTE: All charges of the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER will be deducted
from the money, so you are rest assured that you wouldn’t spend a dime
out
of your personal money.If you are interested, please get back to me as
soon as possible via email.
N: B, Please send to me the listed information below:

#Your full name:
#Your full home address,
#Your age,#Occupation and as well your #marital status, and
your,#direct
contact telephone number,
I will be needing your home address, so that I will send the MONEY
ORDERS
to you via FedEx or overnight shipment.
Thanks for your assistant and God bless,

i just got two emails from two different people, one from sue harrison in london offering me a job, helping her with her with the money orders that people give to her for her art, and another asking me to give him my bank account so that he can wire money into it and hold it there till he comes to the us, what are these people thinking2006-07-19 15:06:06 -
My brother was exchanging emails with a lady named Elizabeth for a month or more. She was a buyer of silk who made a trip to Africa to buy the silks. She emailed my brother that they would not accept her "money" there and requested my brother that she would fedex him a money order from her bank in South Dakota, and then he should cash it and wire it to her in Africa. Sounded reasonable, so that's what happened. His Wachovia Bank cashed it and he took the money to Walmart where it was sent via wire. For some reason, it was wired to the wrong country the first time, and Elizabeth called to say she hadn't received, waking my brother at about 2AM, then it was resentIt happened 2 other times that I'm aware of and same actions taken. Then Wachovia sent him an overdraft fee notice on an account that was open that he wasn't using. He filed a police report and the officer told him the bank or Walmart would probably have to absorb the costs. He went to see the bank manager who basically told him, they couldn't help him. That is the situation at present. Is my brother responsible although his Wachovia Bank cashed it--he didn't deposit in his account. Can anyone assist us in this? We are researching a lawyer at this time. Thanks, Linda2006-07-19 15:01:05 -
Enjoy you guys!

I received money orders today, 7/19/2006, they were forgeries. From a company called the Statoil Groups.

I am including a copy of the email I sent back to the Statoil Groups. I hope this information helps. Alway check the checks before you cash.

My Reply: Yes I received the MoneyGrams and the American Express Travelers Cheques, in the amounts of $950.00 (three Wal Mart), and $500.00 (six Travelers Cheques).

I was given American Express Travelers Clearing House number at: 1-800-542-3590, and was told that the checks are forgeries, and not to deposit into my bank or try to cash.

American Express checked the numbers on the checks and they had been cashed prior to my recipe of them. In addition, the money orders should have had a "pink" circle near the bottom center of the money order, and when rubbed should turn white. Well these money orders did have the circle but the circle was already white when I received them.

These checks sent to me are worthless, are you awere of this?

End of reply

My advice
If you have these type of money orders in your possession I would strongly suggest that you contact American Express at: 800-542-3590, before attempting to cash them or deposit them into your bank account.

How do you do?

I just called the shipping agent, FedEx this morning and they said the payments would be delivered to you today, early in the morning between the hours of 8 and 10:30am.

Please Make sure you are around to receive these payments in Person so that the transaction would go on faster.

Let me know as soon as you recieve the payments so i give you neccessary instructions.

where can I find information on how to identify a fraud money order, walmart.?2006-07-18 20:45:05 -
To whom it may concern:
I received an email on 6/14/2006 from a Susan Patrick stating she was in need of a financial representation in the US to cash payments from customers in the US and wire the money to her in the UK. I acted naively and responded to her email, she then emailed me back to inform me she advised her customers to send me the money orders and I should cash them and wire the money minus 10% to her right away. It was then that I became suspicious and responded that I would have to wait for the checks to clear before wiring the money. She did not respond so I thought maybe I had scared her off, until I received another email from Susan asking where her money was, I responded by telling her I had never received the check (which was true). She has not contacted me since, however today 7/18/2006, I received a letter from outside the US postmarked BENIN, without a return address. The letter contained three US Postal money orders for 850.00 USD. The fact that the letter came from outside the US, it had no return address and inside stated they were from someone in Nebraska, has me quite concerned. I do not know what to do about this. I am certainly not going to cash them. I am requesting advice in this matter. I have the letter, the checks and all corresponding electronic mail. Please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
Cindy Faryniak2006-07-18 11:37:55 -

This is what an invitation job letter looks like. Beware!! Thank God I always do my homework! If this doesn't sound like a scam then I don't know what is!

Dear Candidate,

We will never ask you for bank name, bank account number, routing number, credit card, passwords, ssn number etc. If anyone asks for those on our behalf please do not give out this info. This is to ensure that you will not be the victim of an identity theft case.
Here you have the description of this job in simple steps:

1. You agree and sign the contract, send us your full name and postal address.

2. In 4-5 days after you have agreed to work for us you will start to receive checks/money orders/cashier checks made on your name from our customers in U.S. and Canada. Our customers use hospital funds and the checks are always covered. The payments are made for our products and services which have already been delivered.

4. You deduct the 10% commission from the total amount of the check or money order that you receive and cash.

5. You send the remaining 90% minus transfer fees to our company as per our instructions to one of our offices. We have offices in almost all of Europe; we will instruct you where to send the balance. This means that the funds will not always be sent to our headquarters in U.K. You will not make the transfer on our company name. One of our employees will be the receiver for the funds. The methods we use for transferring funds are: wire transfers, money transfers, checks and money orders. Depending on our needs we will instruct you to send the funds using one of those methods.

6. After one month has passed since you signed the contract you will receive your first salary.

SURGIMED INTERNATIONAL is a privately owned company founded in 1954. This job is possible because our company SURGIMED INTERNATIONAL has its headquarters in London, UK. As such we do not yet have stores or offices in the United States and Canada. Until we do we will always need representatives in the U.S. to take care of some financial matters. The problem we are facing is the time necessary for our company to clear the funds from checks, money orders and cashier checks paid by our customers from U.S. and Canada after they have received our products and/or services. It takes approximately 2 to 3 weeks including shipping to clear these checks in Europe. We need to clear the checks, money orders and cashier checks inside U.S. and then have the funds transferred to our company in U.K. by other means. This is where you can help us. It would speed up the process tenfold. We have already made a signed agreement with the U.S. officials and we are paying all the necessary taxes for our business. We will also send you a 1099 Form for tax deduction on your part on the date you will receive your first salary. This job is official and legal according to the U.S. legislation as it is today.

The process itself involves answering e-mails a couple of times per day and going to a bank. This job does not require any kind of experience. It only requires access to the Internet and knowledge to send e-mails. First step in this job is for you to wait at home for checks/money orders/cashier checks sent by our American and Canadian customers on your name as per our instructions. For this to be possible we need your basic personal info such as full name and full address.After you receive the checks/money orders/cashier checks you will have to go to the bank to cash them. The most important objective is for you to speed up the cashing process in any way possible. Keep in mind that we have already delivered our products and we need to get the funds to maintain our cash flow. We are covering you financially should any problems arise up to the full amounts on the checks you processed. There is no need for a special bank account to make this happen and creating a new account will slow down the process. After you have cash in hand you will have to contact us at the same e-mail address and then you will receive additional instructions on how to send the money to us. We cannot provide a phone number yet because we have many collaborators and momentarily we lack the technical support. For basic information we will have to use e-mails. Phone support is only for more sensitive issues that might appear after signing the contract. We will support any fees involved from receiving, cashing and transferring the money to our company. Your commission and salary are not subject to any fee deduction. The 10% off of each check/money order/cashier check and the monthly $900 are your net income.2006-07-18 11:12:51 -

ok...

THANK you guys for saving my ass. I almost got tricked by those guys. Almost took away my hard earned money. I 'm a well educated individual so I look into any type of online business thoughly. I got the money orders from a guy called George Campbell and was very pushy with me getting the money orders cashed and I researched all the names and numbers coming in and found a website which lead to this site and another site.

BEWARE CANADIANS,

he posted this ad on yahoo hot jobs and i'm sure lots of ppl have applied. his e-mail is mobileandcomputerinc@yahoo.co.uk. Avoid at all costs. I'm going to send the fake canada post money orders to the police to investigate this situation so no one else gets into this bind. I hope this msg can save some ppl in Canada! thank you2006-07-17 17:26:51 -
MY SISTER CASHED 3 FAKE MONEY ORDERS ON MY ACCOUNT, I HAD HER NAME ON MY SAVINGS SO SHE COULD CASH HER SOCIAL SECURITY CHECKS.
SHE KNOWINGLY KNEW THEY WERE FAKE, SHE TRIED TO CASH EVEN CHECKS THAT WERE FAKE, SO THE BANK TOLD ME. MY NIECE, MY SISTER DAUGHTER CALLED TO WARN ME, BUT IT WAS TOO LATE. MY NIECE COPIED MY SISTER'S MESSAGE ON HER PHONE, A MAN WARNED HER NOT TO CASH THEM. I HAD TO COME UP WITH $2,550.00 TO COVER THAT COST. SHE ALSO TRIED TO CASH A $21,000.00 CHECK WITH ANOTHER BANK, BUT IT DID NOT GO THROUGH. HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A SISTER LIKE THAT, ONE WHOM I TOOK IN OFF THE STREET AND HER KIDS, FED THEM AND TOOK CARE OF THEM, BROUGHT HER FOOD WHEN FOR THE HOLIDAY'S WHEN SHE SAID SHE DIDN'T HAVE NOTHING. TOOK HER OTHER DAUGHTER AND BABY IN AND TOOK CARE OF THEM ALSO, AND RUINED THE CARPET IN THE BEDROOM BECAUSE SHE IS SO DIRTY. I GAVE HER 3 DAYS TO CLEAN HER ROOM, AND ALL THREE DAYS SHE WENT SHOPPING. THERE IS ALOT MORE TO THIS STORY, BUT BEWARE, YOUR FAMILY WILL SELL YOU OUT FOR A FEW BUCKS. HER DAUGHTER, TALITHA THOMAS SAID SHE HAD A SETTLEMENT COMING, WHICH WAS A LIE, I RENTED HER MY HOUSE I NEEDED TO SELL SO I COULD RE-FINANCE MY OTHER HOME, I HAD TO CALL THE POLICE TO COME SEE MY HOUSE, SHE WAS ARRESTED FOR CHILD ENDANGERMENT, I TOOK THEM TO COURT AND BECAUSE I TRUSTED HER I DIDN'T KEEP A COPY OF THE LEASE AND THE JUDGE TOOK THERE WORD OVER MIND ABOUT THE LEASE. IT TOOK ME FROM NOVEMBER TO MARCH TO GET THEM OUT, THEY STOLE MY LADDER AND GUTTERING FROM THE HOUSE, AND NEVER PAID ME NOTHING AFTER I DID THEIR INCOME TAX. I SUPPORT MY DAUGHTER AND GRAND-SON, BEFORE YOU TRUST ANYONE YOU BETTER GET ALL YOUR DUCKS IN A ROW. ANYWAY I HAVE TO GO TO COURT IN NOVEMBER TO TESTIFY AGAINST HER, SHE IS ALSO CHARGED WITH ANIMAL NEGELCT, SHE MISSED 3 COURT DATES ON THAT ONE, AND 2 ON THE CHILD ENDANGERMENT. I LOST MY SON LAST SEPTEMBER, AND THIS IS ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SINCE THEN. MY SON TOOK HIS OWN LIFE AND LEFT TWO SMALL CHILDREN, WHICH I AM NOT ALLOWED TO SEE, AND NOT BECAUSE I HAVE EVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG TO ANYONE MY WHOLE LIFE, BUT TRY TO HELP SOMEONE GET A BETTER START ON LIFE.2006-07-17 15:51:55 -
